Dont stop trying.: Eat healthfully. Try to eat at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 of fruit per day. Increase nutritional fiber. Avoid refined sugar & junk carbohydrates. Avoid alcohol, sweetened juices, soda & caffeinated beverages. Aim for 7.5 to 8 hrs of sleep / night. Hydrate w at least 64 oz of water / day. Calories burned must > calories consumed. Do both cardio & weight training.

No magic (sadly): The answer is diet and exercise. Try logging onto www.myfitnesspal.com to find support from women in your same situation. This is a great site for tracking your food intake and exercise. Also, increase your exercise. I like You Tube's FitnessBlender series - home workouts with videos from beginning to advanced. Good luck!
